SEO Content Editor — User Guide
What is SEO Content Editor?
SEO Content Editor is an all-in-one content editor with AI assistant and real-time SEO analysis. Write, optimize and analyze content with keyword tracking, readability analysis, competitor monitoring, semantic entity graph and 10+ AI tools — all in one editor.
Cost
50 credits per session. Each AI action (generate outline, suggest keywords, write paragraph, etc.) draws credits from your account.
How to use the tool
1. Start writing
Open the tool from the tools menu (/app/tools/seo-content-editor). You can either:
- Write directly in the editor with Tiptap rich text editing
- Use AI to generate an outline based on your topic
2. Add keywords
Add primary and secondary keywords in the keyword field. The editor automatically tracks:
- Keyword occurrences in the text
- Keyword density (%)
- Distance from target value
3. Monitor the SEO score
The SEO score updates in real-time as you write. It is based on:
- Keyword usage — correct density and placement
- Readability — Flesch-Kincaid score
- Content length — word count vs. target

- Action suggestions — concrete improvements with point values
Aim for 70+ for well-optimized content.
